All tabs in preferences dialog are empty on Lucid #587

I rebuilt the karmic debs from the PPA for Lucid as the PPA doesn't 
support that. Following these instructions: 
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rebuilding-ubuntu-debian-linux-binary-
package/

Then I installed and added the applet to my gnome desktop and right 
clicked the global menu applet. The preferences dialog it brings up has no 
content in the tabs what so ever and as such global menus are left in an 
unconfigured state.

I installed on lucid using the karmic debs and I experience the same.
And I found something interesting... If I kill GlobalMenu.PanelApplet and then 
start it 
manually and then press reload, the preferences dialog works.

However it is still not useful, because it seems that it can't grab the menubar 
on 
lucid.

The idea to kill and then start it came from here:

Everything seems to work fine after logging out and then back in.

After doing the trick described above, I still can't see the  "Enable Global 
menu" in
preferences.

So I went to gconf-editor and enabled it there.

But the menu still doens't show! Even when I un-check "Show menu in local 
window",
the menus still show in the local window.

I can see the other preferences though, everything else besides "Enable 
Globalmenu
for  GTK".
Odd. Also exported to .profile and the menu still doesn't show.

@beautifulsnow, I assume you have tried logging out and then back in... Right?

I had the same issue, but i fixed it with doing the same as mentioned in 
comment #1. 
The only odd thing is that it still shows the GTK menu's in the applications..
